In a major escalation of America’s proxy war with Russia – and a dangerous destabilization of situation in Eastern Europe – the administration of outgoing president Joe Biden has given the green light to Ukraine’s use of American-made long-range missiles on Russian targets.
The decision was reportedly made last Thursday (November 14, 2024) – nine days after Biden’s vice-president, Kamala Harris, was decisively defeated in the 2024 American presidential election by former commander-in-chief Donald Trump.
Trump has said he will bring a “swift end” to the Eastern European conflict, which is not something warmongering neoconservatives like Biden, former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley or U.S. senator Lindsey Graham want to hear.
With the clock ticking before Trump is set to be sworn in, then, it’s sadly no surprise that we are witnessing arguably the most overt escalation of American involvement in the region since a U.S.-led coup overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine back in 2013.

“Biden’s puppet masters are urgently seeking to escalate the war in Ukraine to make the quick ceasefire sought by Trump impossible,” the website Zero Hedge bluntly put it. “After all, war is how the Deep State earns its income.”
To recap: Our nation orchestrated the overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically elected government ten years ago. American diplomat Victoria Nuland and ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt literally conspired with neo-Nazis to overthrow Victor Yanukovych – a pro-Russian politician chosen by the Ukrainian people as their president in the February 2010 national election. Nuland and Pyatt then hand-picked the country’s new prime minister – Arseniy Yatsenyuk – and promptly frog-marched him to the Oval Office to receive his marching orders from then-president Barack Obama.
America has been puppeteering in Ukraine ever since the coup…
Our audience will recall how Biden bragged on camera in January 2018 about getting Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin fired from his post for investigating a company linked to scandal-scarred first son Hunter Biden. Specifically, the former vice president discussed how he threatened to withhold a billion dollars worth of U.S. loan guarantees if Shokin wasn’t removed from office.
“I said… you’re not getting the billion dollars,” Biden said. “I’m gonna be leaving here … in six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired you’re not getting the money.”
“Well son of a bitch – got fired,” Biden added, pausing for dramatic effect.
The truth behind this story was censored at the time… but we now know what really happened.

In a gambit with significantly higher stakes, Biden is now authorizing forces under the command of Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky to engage the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to strike targets deep inside of Russia. ATACMS are American-made, supersonic tactical ballistic missiles which have a range of nearly 200 miles.
Russian president Vladimir Putin has previously warned that the use of such missiles against his country would mean the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was “at war” with Russia.
“If such a decision is taken, it will mean nothing short of direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries, in the war in Ukraine,” Putin said back in September.
Such “direct participation,” Putin continued, would change “the very essence, the very nature of the conflict.”
“It will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia,” Putin stated. “And if this is so, bearing in mind the change in the very nature of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us.”
Despite these statements, left-leaning prime ministers Keir Starmer of Great Britain and Justin Trudeau previously endorsed the use of these long-range missiles by Ukraine, but Biden – or whoever is making his national security decisions – originally decided against it.
Clearly, Trump’s victory – and his promise to turn off the multi-billion dollar spigot of American aid – has changed the warmongers’ calculus.

Along with millions of invaders from countries from south of the US/Mexico border, can Trump please deport the thousands and thousands of Ukrainians back to where they came from? These cowardly parasites do not need to be in the USA, additionally sponging off of our resources, here at home. Have not the Joe Bidens and Joe Wilsons in our Government sent enough of our tax money over there, already? Have they not yet received enough reward back from Zellenskyy and his kind, in return?
Damn Ukraine!
Yes, according to Will Folks, we now know the “truth”. Why the hell doesn’t Trump put Folks in charge of our national intelligence/security agencies if he knows so damn much?
Sleepy Ol’Joe is determined to give the MIC a going away present. Hopefully he won’t start World War 3 in the process.
Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine 24 hours after the election. What’s he waiting for?
And Will, please shove that false Shokin story back up your ass where it came from. Democrats, Republicans, the EU, the IMF all wanted that corrupt guy gone. He was not investigating anything when he got canned.
Actually, the pledge was “…I’ll have that done in 24 hours…”, after taking office.
Trump’s “full plan” apparently is to call Ol’Vlad and tell him he can choose one from column “a” or one from column “b”
a – end the war now on your own
b – end the war after I give Ukraine every single weapon they can use and they begin their march on Moscow.
